=== fragalot is now known as Guest64639 [04:55] does anyone know why by changing the mouse pointer theme it dissapears? thanks [04:55] (the mouse cursor dissapears while moving) === Myrtti_ is now known as Myrtti === Pici` is now known as Pici [13:33] Hi, am running Lubuntu on a celeron dell inspiron 2200 series. Needless to say problems are with the wifi , can anyone please advice. Bios has wifi on and i have the b43 drivers installed [13:39] rehi lubricant i may not be able to advice you but maybe you would like to post your problem on http://ubuntuforums.org/? [13:39] Silverlion, was advised to go to linux-wireless not sure which network its on though [13:40] * Silverlion neither [13:40] but the forums is always a good place to post such questions because there are more people then on irc [13:42] Silverlion, yes - there are already many posts which i have trawled through and cannot find a solution hence asking here [13:43] Silverlion, found #linux-wireless seems its on freenode [13:43] then try there ;) [13:43] trying :-) [13:45] On another note - am amazed at Lubuntu - am using a spin called lxle and its thrilling - esp after my younger machine died had to move back to this old celeron, lubuntu booted no sweat with no grub parameters required and here i am working away with a niggling wifi problem [13:50] Hey, trying a different tack - i have a wifi pci card inserted, how do i figure out if that can work without propreiotory drivers [13:50] *proprietory [15:09] somehow i disabled my x [15:09] i usually use lxde [15:10] startx doesn't functino [15:15] quit [15:18] how do i initiate lxde from terminal === IboS_ is now known as IboS [17:59] Having a bit of a weird problem, lubuntu 12.10... Doing a bit of flask webdev on my netbook, and every time I reboot, the directory /var/run/uwsgi dissapears and I have to recreate it and chown it www-data. [18:00] Any idea what it is I'm doing that's triggering that? btrfs filesystem, with btrfs-apt-snapshot. [18:01] Kamilion: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-5.13.html [18:01] Kamilion: /var/run is a symlink to /run, which is a tmpfs filesystem. It's created in RAM every time you boot. [18:01] How interesting -- on my server that isn't occuring. [18:01] /var/run is cleared at boot time [18:01] And all the stuff in it's recreated every boot? [18:02] Kamilion: i can't remember when we switched to tmfs, but it's a cross-distro move (e.g. fedora, debian, suse are all on board) [18:02] Kamilion: yes. [18:02] yeah -- i'm familiar with systemd's push for this stuff [18:02] Kamilion: so is that a package from the ubuntu archive that relies on /var/run/uwsgi, or something you compiled yourself? [18:02] where can I register to have an empty dir created for my .sock files? [18:03] Kamilion: no, /run was first proposed by ubuntu security team, and later spread elsewhere. [18:03] pip install uwsgi, and a simple upstart job in /etc/init/uwsgi.conf to start an emporor [18:03] Kamilion: i'd recommend you install uwsgi with apt-get. [18:03] won't work [18:03] as that should work properly. [18:03] way too old [18:03] doesn't even take the same --options [18:04] everything else is in a venv but pip, setuptools, and uwsgi. [18:04] Kamilion: ok. in that case you'll need to extend upstart job to create the dir you want, or possibly have two upstart jobs, one to create /var/run/uwsgi and the real upstart job to depend on that one. [18:04] like a preexec? [18:05] I just wrote a bunch of systemd units for another system a couple weeks ago... *goes to look at upstart docs* [18:07] perfect. [18:07] Kamilion: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ [18:07] I got it. [18:08] pre-start script [18:08] mkdir -p /var/run/uwsgi; chown www-data.www-data /var/run/uwsgi; # prepare environment [18:08] end script [18:08] exec $UWSGI --master --emperor "/var/www/sites/*/config/*.ini" --die-on-term --uid www-data --gid www-data --logto $LOGTO [18:08] =)))))) [18:09] can I squish that mkdir/chown into a single command somehow? [18:09] yes. [18:09] *man mkdir* [18:09] man install [18:10] install -d -g www-data -o www-data /var/run/uwsgi [18:11] ahh, great. That feels so much cleaner. [18:11] Should I clean up after myself with a postexec? [18:11] or just let the bootscript do it's job? [18:12] eh, i'll let the bootscript do it's job. [18:12] Kamilion: the beaute of /run is that you shouldn't clean up, as you will not have a chance if for example it all bursts into flames =) [18:13] lol [18:13] will keep that in mind [18:13] afk for a bit; doing some testing on this app coming back to life from coldboot... (yay, znc!) [18:37] yay, all works well from coldboot now. Thanks, xnox, inductiveload! [18:37] =) === Guest64639 is now known as fragalot [19:03] Heh -- no wonder why I havn't seen this behavior on the webserver [19:04] 19:03:49 up 99 days, 23:33, 4 users, load average: 0.11, 0.09, 0.06 [19:04] it hasn't reboot for /var/run to be cleared... Better fix that problem before it does! [19:08] xnox: Thanks, probably saved me a headscratcher in a couple months when someone finally does get around to rebooting it [19:09] yeah, not many servers survive reboots after ages of operation. [19:10] i've tried to be diligent about making upstart jobs and systemd units on all the systems. I'm pretty proud of my autossh systemd unit, hehe === Moewe is now known as Ilgabbiano [22:12] how do i change the colors of the elements of windows on lubuntu? i want bright yet subdued hues please
